I use some programs so frequently that it seems to be a lot of time wastage to go to the start menu and find the program I need and then start it. Apart from my previous Run Command tweak to run every program from the Run menu, LaunchOnFly is a handy software which is an alternative to the start menu. Its benefits over the start menu include:
- You can open your application or folder with a single click.
- LaunchOnFly doesn’t use any screen space until you need it. It’s invisible until you command it to get visible.
- It’s really easy to use.
Opening LaunchOnFly
There are multiple ways to open the LaunchOnFly menu .. use which ever you are comfortable with.
- You can open the menu with the middle mouse button.
- You can drag you mouse to the top left corner of your screen.
- You can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-Shift-A to open the menu.
- Left click the status bar icon of LaunchOnfly.
- Most of all it’s a freeware.
You can configure all these shortcut options through the settings.
Configuring LaunchOnFly
If you want to add a new item in the LaunchOnFly menu, simply right click the item (may it be the application, a file or a folder) –> Send To –> LaunchOnFly. And your new item will be available in the menu.
You can further configure LaunchOnFly by right click the status bar icon and going to settings.
